#### [How to connect SMTP](https://support.warmy.io/knowledge/how-to-configure-sendgrid#l1)

#### [**How to connect  IMAP**](https://support.warmy.io/knowledge/how-to-configure-sendgrid#l2)

### How to connect SMTP

#### Step 1:

In the "Email address" field, enter the email address that you have connected in "Sender Authentication" on SendGrid.

Paste in field

#### Step 2:

In the field "SMTP password" you need to specify the API Key, which is generated in your SendGrid dashboard:

Create API Key

**IMPORTANT!** In order to avoid sending warm emails to unwanted or inaccessible email addresses, you need to change the permissions in the settings to **"Full Access".** Then Warmy will automatically be able to track problems in sending emails and prevent them.

Paste in field

#### Step 3:

**“SMTP username”** for SendGrid: “apikey”

![](https://support.warmy.io/hubfs/image-png-Oct-06-2023-01-39-00-8815-PM.png)

#### Step 4:

**“SMTP host”** for SendGrid: [smtp.sendgrid.net![](https://support.warmy.io/hubfs/9829AAF7-5C9E-4D77-9617-D44DE94107C4_4_5005_c-jpeg.jpeg)](http://smtp.sendgrid.net/)

#### **How to connect IMAP**

**IMAP**

Since SendGrid does not have an IMAP server, you can use another mailbox that can accept email, such as [Gmail](https://support.warmy.io/knowledge/how-to-connect-google-workspace?hsLang=en) (the host is **imap.gmail.com**). IMAP username (Gmail email address) and the email address you specified in the SMTP field should be the same. Otherwise, Warmy will not be able to track and process warm-up emails.

![](https://support.warmy.io/hubfs/image-png-Oct-06-2023-01-50-17-9220-PM.png)

It remains only to click on the "Connect" button, and voila! Done, your mailbox is successfully connected and has started warming up.🔥
